Luis Ryan Diaz: Starting a Podcast - #32

You could be looking to start a podcast or have just recently started one. What could you start a podcast about? What could your audience be interested in? What value could you bring to them in every episode? Alex sits down with author of How to Get Your First 100,000 Podcast Downloads in 100 Days, Luis Ryan Diaz. He explains his 3 core step process on what to do when starting your podcast. Whether your podcast show is brand new or you don’t know where to start, learn how to analyze your audience, know their pain points, know what they enjoy doing, and how to implement that into your podcast to stand out above the rest. 

Entrepreneurial Wisdom Nuggets:

• It’s not something you should jump into because you feel like you have to. You should do things because you want to do them.
• Try a new approach to reading. Read the book, stop and write notes on the main things you like. You can create your notes on Google Docs then transfer to Asana to create action items.
• Your podcast or brand should be omnipresent. Don’t just stick to one platform, make sure you’re available on every platform according to your niche or audience.
